Anyone think the Steelers can beat KC?

Yes.  TJ Watt is healthy for this game.  The Steelers have the D that can confuse KC.  Plus, the Steelers were embarrassed by KC earlier, could serve as extra motivation.  If PGH can possess the ball using Harris and quick passes (PGH O line is a disaster), I think PGH D can keep it close.  I would bet on PGH, esp. if the spread is at 12 or 14.

Steelers need to imitate the Bucs defensive gameplan from the super bowl. If they can pressure Mahomes & limit him, they could possibly squeak out a win. It'd probably still take a Pitt Defensive or ST TD to outscore them.

 

They have the most disruptive front in the league.

 

They will do well to be themselves.

It is possible if TJ Watt takes over the game and constantly is disrupting the KC offense and the Steelers get a lucky turnover or two on top of a better than expected game from a player or two on offense. That's a lot to go right on one side of the ledger but it isn't impossible. 

 

Watt and Fitzpatrick can create turnovers.  PGH also has Cam Hayward on DL.

Don't think the Steelers have the firepower to score with the Chiefs, but they could make Mahomes' life miserable for 60 minutes.

yep, exactly.   Similar to the Browns-Chiefs divisional round game last year.

 

Will definitely be pulling hard for Pittsburgh

I just saw Mahomes painfully trying to answer questions about facing Roethlisberger. It's going to be no contest and Mahomes knows it.

 

Did they get his thoughts on the Steeler pass rush?

 

He's facing the the pass rush, not Ben.

Of all the games this weekend, this looks to be the most lopsided.  Pitt barely survived a depleted Ravens team.  And depleted is being generous.  Ravaged is more appropriate .  Their entire starting secondary was gone a month ago. They were playing 3rd and 4th  stringers back there.    The only way it happens is if Heyward/Watts KOs Mahommey.  Kelce was dinged and so was Hill.  That might be enough.  All we can hope for is that Pitt softens them up for their round 2 matchup.

It's definitely possible that the Steelers can generate the disruption needed but the KC defense is also playing a lot better than they were to start the season. So you are also going to have to get some luck on offense from the Steelers too. Because even if Watt and company are disruptive defensively I still think KC scores 21+ points. So you have to then get some additional help on offense to score at least a few TD's. All is possible but it is a heavy ask.

This.   If Pitt can barely beat a badly hobbled Ravens team ,  it doesn’t bode well for them going against a mostly full strength KC team that already smoked this season .
